THE INTELLIGENCE
OPENINGS
Banyan Tree: Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa Banyan Tree Group has opened its first European hotel, under the Angsana brand, in Corfu, Greece. An experience-driven luxury retreat, it’s home to 10 F&B outlets, including four signature restaurants: Botrini’s, a Greek fine-dining destination curated by Michelin- starred chef Ettore Botrini; Koh, an Asian fusion restaurant; contemporary all-day dining outlet Ruen Romsai; and Sofrito, a tavern serving Corfiot and Greek flavors and fresh seafood.
Fast-casual pizza brands expand across Europe Papa John’s International plans to open 250 restaurants in Germany over the next seven years in collaboration with its franchise partner PJ Western Group. “This expansion into Germany follows a record year of sales and growth that has positioned Papa John’s to further accelerate development in international markets,” said Papa John’s International chief operating officer Jack Swaysland. At present, PJ Western operates 200 Papa John’s restaurants and 10 dough production plants in Europe and Asia. It is looking for new franchisees to join the Papa John’s family and fast-track the expansion. Meanwhile, California-based pizza innovator Pieology has announced its first opening in the UK, another
step towards spreading its brand of fast-casual pizza across Europe. One in five casual-dining restaurants in London’s city center closed during the pandemic and chains are
capitalizing on the massive supply of available restaurant space. The new owners, Kim Nagpal and Gavin Sutharmasellan of CAMYABCO LTD, said they were excited to be part of the Pieology expansion. “Pieology boasts a strong franchising team, a huge fan base and a creative product for sale,” said Sutharmasellan. They hope the UK opening will provide the company with a gateway for opening additional restaurants in other parts of the UK and Europe. It already operates in Mexico, Spain and China.
